The FDA has not set an RDA for fluoride. In fact, according to many sources, they have never actually approved its use. That has to do with fluoride being in use before the FDA was formed in 1938. Unfortunately, its use was in rat poison.

Today, there is much debate concerning fluoride and its safety (or more to the point, it being unsafe) for humans. As such, it appears that tolerance levels are the issue, rather than how much is needed daily.
